Configure One SAP MMC for All Systems

In many cases we have to support different SAP systems (ERP,BI,XI,EP,SRM etc.) with varying landscape.
During maintenance cycle we have to login to each of the system and perform necessary action (for example
shutdown and startup). Instead of that we can configure all systems in a single SAP MMC. Here is the
procedure.

1. Remote login to the system where you want to configure the SAP MMC for all systems.

2. Right click on the SAP Systems then click on the properties.
